Complaints Handling Policy

How to complain, what happens next, and the deadlines we hold ourselves to.

Last updated 8 July 2026

How to reach us

  • In the app: open the trip and choose “Get help” — the fastest route, because the trip record comes with the complaint.
  • On this site: submit a support request with the category that fits.
  • By email: support@namcab.com.
  • Safety emergencies: use the in-app SOS button, and call 10111 for police assistance first if anyone is in danger.

Our service standards

If a case will take longer — for example where the police are involved — we tell you, and we keep you updated rather than going quiet.

How complaints are handled

  1. 1Your complaint is logged with a reference and categorised (payment, safety, conduct, lost item, app issue, other).
  2. 2A support agent reviews it alongside the trip record where one exists.
  3. 3You receive an outcome and the reasons for it — not just a closure notice.
  4. 4If the outcome includes a refund or account action, the relevant policy (Refunds, Deactivation & Appeals) governs the details.

If you are not satisfied

Reply to the outcome and ask for escalation: a senior reviewer not involved in the original decision will re-examine the case. Nothing in this process limits your right to pursue remedies under Namibian law, including under the Electronic Transactions Act 4 of 2019.

Complaints about NamCab itself

Complaints about our policies, our people or our handling of a matter — rather than about a trip — go to the same channels and are routed to management rather than the ordinary support queue.

Questions about this policy?

If this policy affects a trip you took or an issue you're facing, our support team can help — fare disputes, reports and appeals all start with a support request.
